- Fig. 1 : Bacteria mould, fungi, algae and virus
- Fig. 2 : Example of surfaces that are susceptible to microbial growth
- Fig. 3 : Current coating process using powder or pre-dispersion
- Fig. 4 : Liquid, dispersion, powder and turnkey coating. The turnkey coating is easily mixed and remains stable for longer, leading to improved shelf life and processability. Precipitation and agglomeration start to occur alter 72 hours ; the turnkey coating solution remains stable
- Fig. 5 : Improved process for fully integrated antimicrobial technology in coatings
- Fig. 6 : Correct choice of antimicrobial is essential. Left: Polyurethane chemistry mixed with an incompatible antimicrobial leads to visual defects alter drying. Right: Turnkey coatings are compatible with a wide range of chemistries and have minimal visuel impact |
